Some people believe that the key to averting a potential food crisis may lie in recent advances in science and biotechnology. By manipulating the genetic composition of basic crops, such as rice, it is possible to boost a plant's rate of photosynthesis and to produce bigger crop yields. This process is known as genetic modification; plants that are produced in such a way are called genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Genetic modification can be carried out for a variety of purposes-not only to enhance the crop yield. Scientists have produced GMOs with higher than normal vitamin content, for example; other genetically modified crops are resistant to commonly used agricultural herbicides that used to kill the weeds round them, as well as insects and fungal and viral pests. Food products that are made from, or contain traces of genetically modified organisms are known as GM foods. Scientists claim that a GM strain of 'super-rice' could boost rice yields by as much as 35 percent. Another strain called golden rice-which contains added amounts of vitamin A could reduce vitamin A deficiency in more than 120 children worldwide. Some might think that such advances in biotechnology would be welcomed enthusiastically by people around the world. But, in fact, the issue of genetic modification has become one of the most controversial issues of our age. For many people, it highlights the fme line that exists between the benefits of technology and scientific innovation, on the one hand, and the risks of environmental destruction, on the other. Paragraph 1 of the text mainly discusses about. ... A. genetic modification of plants B. photosynthesis of the certain plant C. the purpose of genetic modification D. a solution to afieviate the food shortage E. technology to produce higher vitamin content in crops

Think of a pie cut into eight slices. The pie crust would be the litosphere and the hot, sticky, pie filling underneath would be the asthenosphere. On the Earth, these plates are constantly in motion, moving along each other at a speed of 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5 cm) per year. The movement occurs most dramatically along fault lines (where the pie is cut). These motions are capable of producing earthquakes and volcanism, which, when they occur at the bottom of the ocean, are two possible sources of tsunamis. When two plates come into contact at a region known as a plate boundary, a heavier plate can slip under a lighter one. This is called subduction. Underwater subduction often leaves enormous 'handprints'in the form of deep ocean trenches along the seafloor. In some cases of subduction, part of the seafloor connected to the lighter plate may 'snap up' suddenly due to pressure from the sinking plate. This results in an earthquake. The focus of the earthquake is the point within the Earth where the rupture first occurs, rocks break and the first seismic waves are generated. The epicenter is the point on the seafloor directly above the focus. When this piece of the plate snaps up and sends tons of rock shooting upward with tremendous force, the energy of that force is transferred to the water. The energy pushes the water upward above normal sea level. This is the birth of tsunami. The earthquake that generated the December 26,2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean was a 9.0 on Richter scale-one of the biggest in recorded history. The following information is true about tsunamis mentioned in the text, except that tsunamis are .... A. predictable following any incidence of earthquakes B. close to the rise of sea levels from the sinking plate C. connected to deep ocean trenches along sea floors D. related to strong movements of plate tectonics E. highly linked to underwater earthquakes

A doctor in pediatric respiratory medicine reported that with the rising popularity of vaping, the hospitals are treating many life-threatening cases. The doctor is concerned that e-cigaretles are advertised in the UK, given the severe reaction they can cause in children and a lack of scientific studies on their safety. E-cigarettes are promoted to the UK as a way to quit smoking because they let people inhale nicotine in vapor rather than breathing in smoke. The Director of Public Health England said vaping is 95% safer than smoking but is not without risks, he asserted that smoking kills half of lifelong smokers and accounts for almost 220 death in England every day. While it is not completely risk free, UK regulated e-cigarettes carry a fraction of the risk of smoked tobacco. This is supported by Dr. Hopkinson, the Medical Director or the British Lung Foundation. He stated that if people switch completely from smoking to vaping, they will substantially reduce their health risk as e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco and any harmful components are present at a much lower level. He advises people who switch to vaping to try to quit vaping’in the long term too but not at the expense or relapsing to smoking. But (here are arguments about how safe vaping really is. The World Health Organization says e-cigarettes are undoubtedly harmful and should therefore be subject- to regulation. It also raises concerns about vaping being aggressively marketed at young people. It is also concerned about the possibility of e-smoking leading to the re­-normalizing of smoking. A researcher studying the effects of vaping said the findings show that vaping is not safe, especially for the lungs or young people. He believes that it is dangerous to announce that e-cigarettes are much safer than tobacco. In conclusion, the best advice (hat can be given is: "if you smoke, switch to vaping: if you don’t smoke, don’t vape." From the passage it can be concluded that the more . .. A. people start e-smoking, the less possible it is for them to completely stop smoking B. e-cigarettes are marketed, the more young people will be buying tobacco based cigarettes C. e-cigarettes are advertised in the UK, the more young people will be attracted to start vaping D. people know about the risks of vaping the less important it is to do research on its effects on its users E. research is done on the effects or vaping in the UK. the more evidence will be gained about the dangers of smoking

He believes that it is dangerous to announce that e-cigarettes are much safer than tobacco. In conclusion, the best advice (hat can be given is: "if you smoke, switch to vaping: if you don’t smoke, don’t vape." Which of the following is the best summary of the passage? A. Vaping is being aggressively advertised as an effective means to help smokers stop this habit. As a result, both smokers and non-smoker are turning to e-cigarettcs. This might reduce the number of deaths caused by smoking. B. Severe lung diseases caused by vaping have caused a lot of concern among health authorities in the UK. This is mainly caused by the successful marketing strategies of e-cigarettes who are targeting the most vulnerable sector, the youth. C. A heated argument is going on about the benefits and safety of vaping. The parties against vaping say that there is no scientific evidence that it is safe. However, opposing parties claim that vaping is 95 percent safer than smoking which causes the deaths of hundreds of people daily. D. It is argued that vaping is much safer than smoking and can be used as a method to stop smoking. Nevertheless, arguments are being raised about its safety. There is evidence that it can cause severe reactions, particularly in teenagers. Therefore, people, who are non-smokers are advised to avoid vaping. E. Although vaping has already caused some deaths among young people, nothing has been done to prohibit the marketing of e-cigarettes. This is because health authorities believe that it is still better to vape than to smoke regular tobacco cigarettes. The latter takes the live of approximately 200 people a day.
